Stupid people depress me

[heraldiccircle]

So I had to go through a confined spaces training thing for work - it was rather depressing.  A majority of fatalities in confined space accidents are people who see a friend/coworker having trouble or go down and try to save them.  I can understand that in some scenarios, but I found this one to be particularly saddening (and told in shameless Netspeak for my own amusement):

So these four guys are assigned to clean out a waste tank on a chicken farm.  Guy #1 goes down and starts shoveling.

Guy #1:  Oh noez!  Teh fumez!!
*Guy #1 passes out*
Guys #s 2, 3, and 4: OH NOEZ!!

Guy #4 runs to get help while Guys # 2 and 3 descend into the tank to try and put the s4v3z0rs on Guy #1.  While they are trying to wrestle him up the ladder...
Guys #2 and 3: Oh noez!  Teh fumez!!!
*Guys 2 and 3 pass out*

Guy #4 calls the fire department, then runs back to the tank, where he sees Guys 1, 2, and 3 unconscious at the bottom of the tank.

Guy #4: OH NOEZ!!!

Guy #4, of course, descends into the tank to try and put the s4v3z0rs on Guys 1, 2, and 3.

Guy #4: Oh noez!  Teh fumez!!

Guy #4 passes out.

When the FD gets there, Guys 1 and 2 are already dead.  Guy 3 dies on the way to the hospital.

People are so stupid sometimes.
